Courtyard by Marriott

Located at Headford Point, well positioned for easy access to north County Galway and within walking distance of Eyre Square and Shop Street in fine weather, this is the first Courtyard by Marriott in the West of Ireland and, unlike so many of the new hotels that have opened all over Ireland in the last few years, it is a handsome building and an asset to an undistinguished area of the city.

Aimed mainly at the business market, it has a large welcoming reception area with feature fireplace and plenty of varied seating, which makes a pleasant common area to meet people or work (complimentary WiFi).

Comfortable unfussy rooms have a large desk and an ergonomic chair, conveniently placed lighting and electrical outlets for working in comfort. All rooms also have a safe, mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, ironing facilities and pay per view movies.

Facilities which will have equal appeal to the leisure market include the hotel's Absolute Spa and a fitness suite featuring state-of-the-art cardio vascular equipment and secure underground car parking.

The Olive Tree Bistro offers popular Irish cuisine with a contemporary & Mediterannean influence. Breakfast offers a choice of healthy buffet or freshly prepared hot dishes cooked to order.

Steam room, sauna, fitness room. Children welcome (under 16s free in parents' room, cot available); Rooms 90; B&B €75 pps, ss€45; 24hr room service, lift. Open all year. Amex, MasterCard, Visa, Laser.
